This oil free pesto is quickly becoming my favorite sandwich spread! Not only is it delicious, it only has 6 simple ingredients that most of us already have in our kitchen, so you can whip it up in a flash. I’ve replaced the traditional pine nuts in this recipe with lightly salted almonds, which have a milder flavor, and the spinach and garlic add flavor as well as nutrients to this pesto. Though I like the flavor of these three ingredients, it’s the basil that steals the show! From the first bite to the last, it will have you saying, “Wow, this is so good!” I hope you like it as much as I do.

Instructions
